But that selects all the black text in the guf, not just the one letter I need to colour. That was why I had started with a hard-drawn selection to isolate just the one letter. > > I tried the colour-to-alpha idea suggested in the first background-colour > > change tutorial, but colour-to-alpha is greyed out and I don't how know > > to get past that, if it is the right way to go. > > Image - Mode - RGB > (while the image is in indexed mode, some things can't work) OK, I did that and colour-to-alpha turned on, but what I selected it, first it squared off the hand-drawn selection to include bits of other letters and secondly, it had made up its own mind about what was background and foreground so that I couldn't get at the black letter but only the white paper.
